' . ' - RIVER SONG , .
Softly and gently thd river flows
By the light of a misty moon;
Gently and softly the night wind blows,
The crickets cry and the trek-tops' croon
And beauty haunts the river ...
Ye who are troubled, come down to the river
Calmly the" river flows - - . . ,
She has bourne away on her crystal tide
A myriad million human woes;
The river is wise and deep - - she knows - -There
is peace by the river;
Ye who are weary, come down to the river,
Tenderly she flows;
J3orn of the upper angel's bath
Born of the high, clean mountain snows
Gliding and green the river goes
Through a sweet pine forest.
Come and rest by the river ...

As we wander on down we see
two more familiar faces, Mr. and
Mrs. Charlie Williamson, better
known as ''Miss Allie and Chaarlie."
When Charlie first saw and courted
Allie, he was working in Durham,
N. C. After he persuaded her to
say "I do" he had a great yearning
to bring her back to Duplin to show
off what he had won. Coming here
years back (we won't say how
many) they set their goal a house
of their own in this pretty town.
Sharing and working along the
years, rearing a family of six, giv
ing them love, affection and advan
tages available they have seen them
grow into fine young men and
women. Now . they have realized
their dream, lovely home which
they enjoy all the more because
they have more time for the grand
children that gather around their
knees for some of that love and
goodness that helped to make their
"mas' .and "pas" better men and"
women,.
Miss Allie as everyone knows was
ever ready in the days past .when
sickness came or the need of shar
ing what ever she had with her
neighbors, that she still does. Hav
ing a green thumb, flowers just
thrive with her touch .never too dry
or too 'hot; that Miss Allie doesn't
have a bouquet, for th'e sick, party
or wha;t ever .need arises. Not only
does she share her flowers but her
garden as welL many a good meal
have lots of us enjoyed because of
her generosity and goodness. Mr.
Charlie, now painter Charlie, not
potraits however but something
more important, thatis homes, is al
ways ready when called upon,
whether to paint or help with his
church. They - have truly worked
together to promote a new growth
to our town, Hats off to you!
As we wander farther to the hill
top a new addition to the old .town
we see an attrative new home. Upon
going In, there we find none other
than "Miss Caroline Gavin," to
others she is Mrs. John A., but to
us who are priviledged t know
her well she's "Miss Caroline. Many
years ago she. came to our town as
a bride and lived with ner late

husband, who in his way was cer
tainly a great inspiration to all who
knew him for his love of mankind,
on the court house square. 'Twas
there thai she saw the needs of
many. As a nurse, she has helped
many of the towns young and old
through growing pains, sorrows and
joys. With her green thumb and
artisttc touch Miss Caroline has pro
vided many a bouquet and decorat
ed for that all to important oocas
sion of the saying of "I do". She
has worked tirelessly to promote
the growth of Kenansville womanl
club, the Presbyterian church and
any other project that would create
a feeling of unity in her community.
'Twas indeed a great day when she
came into our town to be a ma to
Vance and all others who needed
her. We are indeed proud of you
and glad that you've made your
home here. May your stay be a
long and happy one.
As we go higher on the hill we
see this pretty new house most
complete and ready for its owners,
Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Littleton who
came to cast their lot with us quite
a few years ago from Pender Coun
ty. 'Tis Mr. Ed who has helped to
see that the big, and little bumps
have been smoothed out of our
roads, to say nothing of the many
miles of new ones he's seen added.
He with his quite gentle companion
sits home hopefully and patiently
awaiting the coming home of their
only daughter "Captain Grace" who
is giving herself to help ease
pain and suffering of our
boys in World War II and. more
recently Korea. These two gentle,
quiet people have given their selves
whole heartedly to the growth of
Grove Presbyterian church and
other projects in their town. Re
tiring Mr. Ed. is always ready with
a word of wisdom to those who
know him and seek him out. 'Twas
a good day for us when fate di
rected their footsteps our way. May
your life be richer and fuller from
having come to our town and your
joys two fold as you go along to
gether to make that new house into
a happy home.

I wonder if you will give me
space to add a few remarks to Mrs.
Guthrie's about the Kenansville I
knew back in 1913-1917? It was
during those years that I was a
student at James Sprunt and came.
to know so many of the town s fine
people. I'll begin with Mrs. Laura
Gavin who was one of my teachers,
and I believe was considered, one
of the most learned persons there.
Surely she was an Inspiration to
me. And. then, there was Miss K.aie
Brown, who taught Latin there at
James Sprunt for many years. Her
health failed during that time, and
Miss Rosalie Dixon from Hickory
took over that department. They
were both splendid teachers.
I remember Mr. Charlie Souther-
land and can see him now, as be
leaves the Post Office with his bag
of mail. He was a rural carrier
during those days. And Mrs. South
erland, who was both gentle and
kind, I remember well, also their
son, Nerious, who ran the corner
grocery and daughter, Lucy, with
her pleasant smile. Elbert, I believe,
is the only one of this family now
living. I can't forget Mrs. Thad
Jones, & Mr, Jones who preached
in our home community then and
daughters, Cornelia and Helen, who
I believe are now Mesdames Wood
and White, respectively.: .
There was Mr. Ike Kelly, the
little man, who Td see so often,
come walking down the street, and
his son Tom, a shoe salesman, that
lived, with him while in Kenans
ville. There were Mr. and Mrs. Jim
Bowden and their three little boys,
Robert, Ben and Jim, : : Jr. ,and
daughter Grace Nvho lived in the
big old house on the hill. I can
see too, Mr. Dave Hugh Wallace go
walking down town to his law off
ice from his honie across from the
James Sprunt campus, and son
William, who I believe worked with
him. ,: - ' . : :.-. . ''
' There were the Cooper brothers,
Mr. Lib and Mr. Billy, who operated
the dry goods store, Where I be
lieve, the , Holt-Simmons business
now is. There was Miss Mary
(S'may) Cooper and Miss Davis,
who later became Mrs. Lacy Farrior.
How well I remember both of them
and many was the time I dropped
In at Miss Davis' hat shop. There

guest ? J: , i . ',.;;:
Miss Mary Lou Austin of Fuquay
was house gupst of Mr.' and Mrs.
Carey A. Win'"- f"H Carpv, Jr.,
w3s the charming Henry- Farrior
family. Mr. Henry, Dr. Jim and
Misses Fannie Gray and Hester who
lived up on the corner by the
Presbyterian Church. Dr. Jim later
became the husband of my favorite
teacher at James Sprunt, Miss Mary
Moore Sloan, who now teaches in
Warsaw. The Kisses Farrlors taught
music at James Sprunt Institute, i
i There was Miss Lula Hinson who
everyone remembers and niece, Miss
Nell Thompson, a splendid teacher
in that school. Earl Thompson, a
nephew of Miss Lula, worked in
the Post Office and I believe, lived
at her house. There was Steadman
Sloan, a young lawyer and native
of Chinquapin, who later moved to
South Carolina and . represented
that state in the Legislature. Of
course, there were Mr. and Mrs.
L. A. Beasley and daughters, Mil
dred and Mary Ellis, that Kenans
ville certainly would not have
been the same without, and also
Mr. Matt H. Wooten, county School
Superintendent, 'Mrs. Wooten and
daughter, Theo, my class mate at
James Sprunt. y There ' was my
grandfather, the late Jones R. Smith,
who served as county treasurer for
a while, and my cousin, Jasper
Smith, who worked with himr and
also in the post office for some
time.. Albert Outlaw,' who we all
know was a clerk In the Register
Of Deeds office at that time. '
I remember Alton Newton, who
was, and still is, a R. F.'D. carrier
out of Kenansville. (How : many
years does this make now, Alton?),
and sister Kate, -surely 1 couldn't
forget her.
There was Mr. Jimmy Jerritt,
who operated the "Jitney" to War
saw and back each day. I can-see
him now, standing on the platform,
a he pulls into the station.
. There were many more, but time
and space will 'not permit me to
mention them now. Some day I do
want to write of some of my ex
periences at James Sprunt, of the
heads of the institute and their
families, more about the faculty
and student body, if I may.

If you haven't left on that vaca

suggestions on how To Protect A-

Craning and spraying the house
before you close it to go
on vacation is a good pecaution ag

otherwise may increase while you
are away and cause damage or se

Avoid trouble from kitchen pests
by storing all foods in tight con
tainers and by leaving the entire
kitchen clean and free of any traces
of food.
If cupboard shelves have been
sprayed with a 5 percent D. D. T. sp
ray, this will kill such stray insects
as the beetle or weevil that get into
flour, cereal, crackers or dried foods
especially in hot weather.
To control cockroaches or " water

where food or cooking utensils wil
be in contact with it.
Clothes moths or carpet beetle
can do a lot of damage to any un
treated woolens left around the
house while you are away. Even
lint or bits of fur, hair or feathers
can keep these insects alive. Clean

furniture by vacuum is advised to
pick up such litter as well as any
larvae or egg of insects that may
be in the house. The entomologists
suggest u?ing the radiator-cleaning
attachment of the cleaner' along
cracks in the floor, baseboards,
moldings in corners and other hard
to get at places. Protect rugs by
spraying with a D. D. T. spray and
use this spray along baseboards.
